Here's where I will post Godric's new spells in advance of him actually reaserching them in-game, for GM and player feedback as to their balance.
Here's a tasty cantrip to start...
Burnish
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: One weapon
Duration: Permanant or until discharged (see text)
Saving Throw: Fortitude (harmless: object)
Spell Resistance: No
This spell polishes or maintains one weapon to peak condition: swords shine brightly, a bow's shaft is cleaned and oiled, etc. This effect continues until the weapon is first used in battle: the first strike the weapon makes is afforded a +1 bonus, after which the effect wears off.
Material component: A polishing rag.

Sounds good to me... Except from a DM standpoint, I'd say that the effect shines the blade so brightly that any and all drow/dragon/demons in the area mistake you for an epic paladin and come down to smote thee with evily-wickedness... ...but that's just as a DM.  |

Godric's Veil of Invincibility
Illusion (Glamour)
Level: Sor / Wiz 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: One minute / level (D)
Saving Throw: Will neg (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The caster is surrounded by an adaptive illusion designed to fool onlookers that the caster is impervious to harm. Any form of attack will appear to have no effect whatsoever, the casters only reaction appearing to be a smirk, or possibly the brushing of dust from a sleeve or something similar.
The spell offers no actual protection at all, and is immediately broken if the caster loses consciousness or dies.
Material Component: A bit of spinach.
I fights to the finnish cuz I eats lots of spinach, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man! ;D
